Alice · extension

The web researcher that treats safety as a feature.

Alice collects text and images from the web and hands you a clean dataset you can prove the provenance of. She is deliberately narrow: she visits only a short, curated list of reputable, well-licensed sources — Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, Project Gutenberg, Poly Haven, ambientCG — and never crawls the open web. She is a command-line tool with no GUI to learn, and every Conjure subscription includes her free.

$10/month standalone, founders price, doubles at 1.0.
Coming soon
Alice is not sold on her own yet — she is still growing into a product you would buy by itself. She ships today inside BigBrain Complete, and every conjure subscription will include her at no charge.

What it does

Never touches the open web

Eleven allowlisted hosts, checked before any request is made. That restriction is the safety control, chosen because the alternative has a documented history: the indiscriminate open-web scrape behind LAION-5B was found to contain material that forced the dataset to be withdrawn.

Refuses a licence it does not recognise

Per file, not per site: CC0, public domain, CC BY and CC BY-SA are kept; -NC, -ND and anything unrecognised are skipped. Unknown is a refusal, not a default-yes.

Every row is traceable

Source URL, host, fetch time, SHA-256 and licence ride every item, and export is a flat dataset.jsonl your trainer reads directly — so you can filter on rights before you train, and prove where a row came from afterwards.

Feeds the AI line

Alice is the acquisition layer our own models train on — the same pipeline that feeds conjure’s live refinement loop is the one you get.

Alpha software, honestly labeled. Alice collects text and images today; video and 3D-model collection are the roadmap, and so is decoding images rather than just storing them. She fetches one source at a time on purpose. The robots.txt engine is complete to RFC 9309 but is not yet wired into the live fetch loop, and the host allowlist — not per-connection IP checking — is what keeps her inside it. Cancel or refund freely within the prorated refund whenever you like.
